So I need the motivation to knock out some other projects and fingers crossed this is something we can DIY without going broke! What kinds of unforeseen homeowner disasters have you managed to DIY your way through or when do you call in the pros?
We may or may not have a major septic system catastrophe on our hands. We aren't sure yet. There are some parts of said catastrophe boyfriend says we can fix ourselves. Other parts not so much. Either way, it's very possible that this is going to be our first massive expense since buying the house and I can tell you that showering by dumping your head in a bucket of water is a rough way to start a Monday morning.

It was a mega bummer for a few days of not knowing how bad it might be. We had the septic people come out and turns out when the previous owners said they'd had it pumped recently, they were telling a fib or had a different definition of "recently." Plus, they'd left a whole on top of the septic and so it was full of rain water. So, they pumped it out and told us some things to fix/upgrade/be aware of to prevent future problems and so far we're good. Only $200 or so to get everything in working order and know that it will be good to go for a few years at least.
